双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月13日 掌管秩序之神

3月13日

掌管秩序之神

耶和华是我的岩石，我的山寨，我的救主，我的上帝，我的磐石，我所投靠的。

——诗篇18:2

现代思想认为上帝对生命与救赎没有特定的计划，这种理解是有问题的。如果你问航天员上帝是偶然的吗？他会说每一颗星都有精准的行动轨迹。如果你问科学家上帝是偶然的吗？他会说方程和公式都是确定的，不尊重科学规律的人是愚蠢的。如果物质世界的规则都是如此的精妙，那么难道创造主对属灵与生命领域没有计划吗？正如上帝在物质世界制定的方程和公式，他在属灵世界也是如此。

每日祷告：

上帝啊，我为祢所创造的神圣秩序而感恩。这秩序让身处乱世的我看到希望和永久的平安。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

God of Order

The Lord is my rock,and my fortress,and my deliverer;my God,my strength,in whom I will trust……
—Psalm 18:2

The trouble with our modern thinking is that we have a conception that God is a haphazard God with no set rules of life and salvation.Ask the astronomer if God is a haphazard God.He will tell you that every star moves with precision in its celestial path.Ask the scientist if God is a haphazard God.He will tell you that His formulas and equations are fixed,and that to ignore the laws of science would be a fool’s folly.If the laws in the material realm are so fixed and exact,is it reasonable that God could afford to be haphazard in the spiritual realm,where eternal destinies of souls are at stake?Just as God has equations and rules in the material realm,God has equations and rules in the spiritual.

Prayer for the day:

Thank You,God,for Your absolute divine order.Amid confusion,it brings me hope and perfect peace.In Jesus’Name,Amen.
